Lunar releasing separate versions in WMP9?
Lunar is releasing in both XViD and WMP9.
What for? WMP9 is a proprietary format, and so is AC3. It didn't even make the file size smaller. Why not just release in XViD/MP3 like all the sensible digisubbers?

we DO release in Xvid...
see that Xvid/MP3 version... If you don't want WMV9, don't get it... as we have a version for those who can't use WMV9/AC3... Having another doesn't hurt you, just get the Xvid if you want... but don't complain about it -_- |

I just don't see any reason for you to do two releases, one standard and one proprietary.

The answer to this question is really simple: Because encoders just wanna have fun.

I hope in the future we don't see fansubbers going to WMP9-only--it would shut out all Mac and Linux users (yes, there's an OS X version of WiMP9, but it doesn't play WMV3 video). I think one of the cool things about XVID/DIVX/etc is they're free and with mplayer, vlc, etc. they run on all platforms, with decent performance even on older PCs (to a point). |

Actually, I don't like DivX5 because it feels as if it's way too bloated for its own good I do, however, agree that DivX5 is good for people who are starting to learn encoding and aren't planning to go too far in it. Basically, if you need a quick MPEG4 of something, and you aren't familiar with encoding, DivX would be good. One question though, does AC3 provide less distortion at the same average bitrate as LAME MP3? If it doesn't, there's really no point in using it, since I've only seen it used for surround sound, and not stereo. And I don't think the Maburaho DVDs for that episode are out yet |

I've a good reason for the 2 files though...
My computer tend to have lots of problem with the xvid codec, the decoder messes up some files, and lunar's files are one of them. When i had problem with my codecs, i d/l the wmv9 version as it can't go wrong. and now that my computers working perfect again, a comparison of encodings got me to believe that AC3 and WMV9 are both better. Good job Lunar, just do what you like, there will always be some people who agree which ever way it is done. |
